Eurhythmy is a continuation of divine movement, of the divine form in man. By means of Eurhythmy man approaches nearer the divine than he otherwise could." Eurythmy, or eurhythmy, is the art of articulating movement originated by Marie von Sivers and Rudolf Steiner in the early twentieth century. The word derives from Greek roots meaning beautiful or harmonious rhythm. It was also integral in the Gurdjieff movements, a system of movement developed by G. I. Gurdjieff and Jeanne de Salzmann in the early to the late 20th century. Etymologically eurythmic or eurhythmic, originates from "harmonious," 1831, from Greek eurythmia "rhythmical order," from eurythmos "rhythmical, well-proportioned," from eu "well, good" (see eu-) + rhythmos "measured flow or movement, rhythm; proportion, symmetry." Eurythmics (also eurhythmics), is a "system of rhythmical body movement to music, used as therapy or to teach musical understanding," developed by Swiss music educator Émile Jaques-Dalcroze.
